Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
The Firefox download manager does not handle .torrent downloads. Steps to reproduce: * Navigate to a popular torrent site such as thepiratebay.org * Search for "Big Buck Bunny" and click a relevant result * Click the link to begin the download Expected result: * Firefox downloads Big Buck Bunny, as it would using HTTP or FTP Actual result: * Firefox downloads the .torrent file, offering to pass it on to Transmission. Notes: * This behavior is confusing to anyone who is not familiar with bittorrent, ie the "humans" for whom Ubuntu is designed. ** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox download manager doesn't handle torrents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
